TIOF Core Learning :
RERC 2‐01a
I can hear, read and recall the story of the naming of animals (Genesis 2:18‐20).
RERC 2‐01a
Since Jews traditionally understood that the man, by naming the animals, swore to live in harmony with
those he had named, I recognize the interdependence of all creatures, including myself, and our role in caring for
them.
RERC 2‐20a
I know that God’s call to grow in justice and peace challenges me to use the resources of the earth fairly.
RERC 2‐03a
I have investigated the role and mission of the prophets as mediators of the Word of God.
RERC 2‐06a
I can recognise that most people in Palestine were very poor–especially widows and orphans, and those
who had to beg because of a disability.
RERC 2‐06a
I can investigate and identify who are ‘the poor’ in the world today and respond to their needs with justice,
compassion and care.
RERC 2‐20a
I can identify factors which cause economic poverty and have focused specifically on unjust trading.
RERC 2‐09b
I know that the Holy Eucharist is the sacrament in which Jesus Christ nourishes us with his Body and Blood
so that we might give ourselves to him and to others in love.
I understand that the Holy Eucharist is the special sacrament of union with Christ and communion with his
Body, the Church.
I can recall from P5 that the Eucharist is called “the source and the summit” of the Christian life.
RERC 2‐09b
I know that Eucharist is called “the summit” of Christian life because it is the memorial of the mystery of his
death and resurrection and the sacrament in which we receive the body and blood of Jesus so that we can be
nourished for our Christian lives as members of Christ’s Church.
RERC 2‐09b
I know that the word ‘Mass’ comes from the Latin word for ‘sent’ (ite missa est) and so, at the end of Mass,
we are sent on a mission to live the values of the Gospel.
RERC 2‐09b
I can recognise that the priest invokes the Holy Spirit on the bread and wine to change them into the Body
and Blood of Christ.
RERC 2‐09b
I can recognise that the priest also asks God to fill the people with the Holy Spirit so that they can grow in
the fullness of charity and become one body.
RERC 2‐09b
I understand that, nourished by the Eucharist and filled with the Holy Spirit, I can live the Gospel values of
charity/love, unity, peace, service, holiness and justice.
RERC 2-20a
In re‐calling my learning about in P5 (RERC 2‐20a) I understand that justice is closely linked to peace.
RERC 2‐10a
I can identify some of the ways in which the Church works for justice and peace, by investigating the work
of a missionary religious order/congregation, a project my school is twinned with, or the work of a Catholic aid
agency.
RERC 2‐20a
I can identify the practical implications of God’s call to live a life of justice and peace, having studied this
scripture passage: First Letter of John 3: 17‐18 ‐ real and active love.
RERC 2‐21a
I know that Jesus gives us many examples of service and that, in the Last Judgement (Matthew 25: 31‐40)
all Christians are called to be of service to the world and not just to be members of the Christian Community.
RERC 2‐23a
I know that God commands me, out of love, to be truthful at all times in deeds and words. I know that
faithfulness to this commandment will bring peace in my relationships with myself and others (Eighth
Commandment: You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour).
RERC 2‐23a
I can recognise that the Pope and the Bishops have teaching authority in the Church and that we look to
them for guidance in our faith and direction in our moral life.
RERC 2‐24a
I have researched the founders of a religious order, such as the Franciscans, Dominicans, Daughters of St
Paul, Carmelites, Redemptorists, Jesuits, Salesians or Sisters of Mercy and I can identify the charisms of these
religious orders.
RERC 2‐24a
I have used my research to inspire and challenge my response to God’s call to care for the poor.
RERC 2‐24a
I know that SCIAF and MISSIO Scotland are Catholic organisations which respond to the needs of the world
and I have been given opportunities to support the work of MISSIO Scotland.
RERC 2‐24a
I recognise that, in our Catholic school, we are called to demonstrate our care for the world by engaging in
activities such as justice and peace groups, Eco committees, twinning projects with developing countries etc.
RERC 2‐24a
With the help of my teacher, parish and local learning community, I have identified ways in which I can
participate in these activities.
